On the Bill Maher Show, Sister Simone Campbell didn't let conservative author Dinesh D'Souza get away with his statement that the minimum wage is a "minor issue." She stated, "“Excuse me, it is not a minor issue. It is at the heart of people’s struggle. I met Robin at the White House and she works full-time for minimum wage. And Robin, who works full-time at minimum wage for a profitable chain, she has to live in a homeless shelter because she does not have enough money to pay rent. That is wrong in the richest nation on Earth. It is wrong and it’s a big deal!” Sister Simone then spoke to D'Souza about companies that provide poverty wages and rely on taxpayers to provide social services. Watch:
